Make reliable connections

T-Spec RCA patch cables will send your musical signals cleanly across the veritable battlefield of induced noise and uncertain factory electronics in your car, so you'll enjoy all of your music with none of the noise. T-Spec RCA cables resist noise due to their shielded construction and the double twisted pair arrangement of the wire inside their jackets.

Cable construction features

Recycled copper often contains impurities that can impair a wire's conductivity, so T-Spec uses only oxygen-free non-recycled, virgin copper to maximize signal flow in their patch cables. Each machined metal RCA plug features a patented 4-way split tip that guarantees the best possible electrical contact. T-Spec's proprietary PVC jacket gives each cable great flexibility for easier installation, and the durability required for marine certification. Warranty: 1 year.

T-Spec 2-Channel RCA Patch Cables

I used two lengths of these cables (40 feet in total) to connect my amplifier to my subwoofer. The long length was necessary to hide the cables along the bottom of the walls. At this length, humming is a very likely result. I do get some humming if the subwoofer is on and the amplifier is off. However, the humming completely disappears as soon as the amplifier is powered up. The shielding on these inexpensive cables must be pretty good to provide these results.

Good Cables

Good cables and in the short length I needed for my situation.Love the tightness of connection as well!

Pros:High quality and tight fitting cables

Cons:None

Too tight

Sean from Port Angeles, WA on 7/16/2017

They seem to be of good quality but the fit is just too tight. Very hard to get them to seat all the way. When pressing them on them back of head unit the back was actually bending in I was pressing so hard. Then I had to remove them to re-route and it was even harder to get them off. I agree better to have them tight then loose and risk that they fall off but this is just stupid how tight they are. Other then the fit they seem to perform as expected. I ran my remote on wire right beside and zero feed back or noise.

Pros:Quality seems good and we'll insulated from interference

Cons:They fit too tight to amp and stereo... very hard to remove or even seat fully

Just right

The cords I bought are functioning as they should. I really like being able to order them in different lengths. Ordering cords just long enough to reach the components allowed for a very clean installation.

Pros:Varrying lengths available.

Cons:None

Excellent Cable

Bought this to go from head unit pre-amp to amp and sub in the trunk. Used it for the sub channel and to get rid of alternator whine. Fixed my issue and sound quality is definitely up there. Jacket is thick and sturdy, cable has a high quality feel to it.

F-ing Awesome Cables!

These are just the most utterly amazing RCA patch cables you will ever own! For one thing, the pins on the connectors actually fit into my amp! How is that even possible at this price point?! And don't get me started on how flexible the wire is! OMG! I was able to wrap the excess into neat little circles with a wire tie - talk about convenience! Sadly, I could give only 5 stars to this amazing product.

Pros:AWESOME!

Cons:Are you kidding me?!

Cons:None

RCA- loose fit

These RCA cable work well and will fit snuggly into the head and amp. But, if you have to connect them to other RCA Y cables, they are too lose and will come apart. I had to use electrical tape to keep the male and female RCA cable to stay together. This not only keeps them together, but also provides some water resistance for my boat application.

Just cables

They are passing my signal to my amp. What else can I say? They are very flexible however if they get pinched between some plastic like mine did they will easily sqeeze that flexible rubber nearly in half so dont make that mistake as I did.

Pros:

Great patch/rca wire

Your factory system upgrade will only be as good as the power and speaker wire you connect them with. If you skimp out on cheap Walmart wire then you are just insulting the cool amp and sub you bought. Give your system the best chance to shine with quality wiring. Get it right the first time and enjoy.

Meh, I think I'm getting some crosstalk

I'm running three sets of these in my vehicle. Two of them to a 4 channel and one to a monoblock for my sub. I noticed when I was tuning the sub that I could hear some of the test tones coming through the front speakers even though I had them disabled on my head unit. Considering they are hooked up to two separate amps, that means the crosstalk is either from my INE-S920HD or these cheap RCA cables. I'm guessing it's the RCA cables, which would mean they probably don't have very good stereo separation either. I'll be trying some different ones whenever I get around to it and I'll try to remember to update this review for you guys.

Excellent Product

I bought the RCA's because I had some ground noise in my system when running with the Monsters Cable. After trying to diagnose the problem I thought it was the RCA so I bought these instead. Turns out that it was not the RCA but in fact the headunit had a bad ground. Well, I had installed them anyway and replaced the monster cable. Its easier to remove these cables than the Monster since the RCA male adapters don't grab onto the RCA on the AMP or Headunit like a vise. No noise and I definitely recommend due to its price as well! Just wished that it came in black instead of white.

Efficient, solid

I unpacked these, and was all set to use them with an amp and a head unit. Turns out I didn't need them, but I was impressed how solid they were and how the cables made it easy to manipulate them while briefly connecting my two devices. Crutchfield was good about helping me return them.

Crutchfield askedWhy did you buy this?

most reviews of a 10' cable[ Taylor Apr 25, 2017 ]

Looks like other great reviews. I like that it helps reduce electrical interference. Wish it came in black instead.[ Mark Apr 06, 2017 ]

When my system is complete I will have 2 ten in subs in the trunk and an 8 inch sub in the middle of my rear deck. I am planning on having the amp for the tens in the trunk and a mono, compact amp for the 8 inch sub under one of the front seats, hopefully in a place where I have access while in the driver's seat. These cables give me plenty of length to mount this amp anywhere inside the cab without being too long or too expensive.[ Casey Mar 03, 2016 ]

Considered the mid line of another brand but that brand was not available in this length and I did not want to deal with an extra 2 ft of wire to stuff somewhere.[ Kevin Jan 18, 2016 ]

I needed them to get a signal to my sub[ Jason Mar 19, 2017 ]

I chose the T-Spec 2-Channel RCA Patch Cables 14-foot to accomplish installation of a second amplifier in the truck of 2011 VW Jetta and with hopes of mitigating a potential ground loop that may generate alternate whine.[ Patrick Feb 17, 2017 ]

I thought this would be a better way to connect my amp to the head unit. I could be wrong. I haven't installed a car stereo since the 80's.[ John Jun 22, 2017 ]

This is a great and easy product to use.[ Carla Jun 09, 2017 ]

I need it.[ Hee chang May 16, 2017 ]

Because the wiring kit only came with 1, I needed 2.[ Scott Apr 03, 2017 ]

I chose the T-Spec 2 Channel RCA Patch Cables 17-foot to accomplish installation of an amplifier in the trunk of my 2011 VW Jetta. In addition, I purchased this cable brand in hope of mitigating any form of ground loop.[ Patrick Feb 17, 2017 ]

To contact my head unit to the powered sub woofer[ David Jan 27, 2017 ]

I told the tech support guy named Wolf what I was buying and asked if there was anything else I would need to accomplish the installation in regards to
any cables or wiring. So he hooked me up.JamesWolf's Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=205[ JAMES Feb 23, 2016 ]

I have used these rca cables before and by far, have the best noise resistance quality on the market. I have a old car and noise interference is very crucial. Thanks again Crutchfield. So far you have not let me down.[ Charles Jun 04, 2017 ]

1 question already asked

This cable is to be used to go between the head unit and the amp. Speaker wire can be used from the amp to the speakers.[ BLAINE Apr 14, 2015 ]

I have been wiring speakers for years and find RCA cables to be the better choice not only for ease of connection but better look and ability to alter/change components with ease.[ Thomas Apr 14, 2015 ]

Hi Jeff,
Only use patch cables as intended, to send pre-amp signal to your amplifiers. Use quality speaker wires between amplifier and speaker to handle the high amperes. Hope that helps.Kind Regards,Randell[ RANDELL Apr 13, 2015 ]

Im not sure I understand your question but, as the signal path works, RCA from radio to amp and speaker wire from amp to speaker. I hope this helps.[ CHUCK Apr 13, 2015 ]

If your receiver has RCA outs it would be far better to use those than to use the speaker outputs. If you do not have RCA outs, you can get a step down which converts the speaker outputs to RCA. very few amps can accept a high level out coming from the speaker outs on the receiver anymore. Most will only accept low level inputs via RCA.[ JOSEPH Apr 13, 2015 ]
